Anyone know where/how to get some bars like the Nitto Albatross (http://www.rivbike.com/webalog/handlebars_stems_tape/) in the UK? I'm after bars which are 7/8" in diameter, so as they accommodate V-brake levers and MTB thumb shifters.

Thanks in advance!

Give Will at http://www.hubjub.co.uk/ a try.

Stockists of a number of Nitto products - they may be able to help?

Thanks! Neither could help me though....

I'm amazed it's so hard to find some; these are like the most basic sort of bars there are!

Slightly different style, but would these work for you?

Cheers! Actually, I've already got some like that, and I find that after about 2 hours on the saddle my arms and wrists are starting to ache a bit. I know that I can cycle for hours with my hands in a drop-bar position, so I'm looking for something more like that. I don't want to change to drops though because I don't have the cash to convert my whole bike - stem, brakes etc to fit - so I'm after something like the Albatross. I do appreciate all the thoughts though; keep them coming...

Nitto Moustache bars? Even flipped over if necessary?

Those are 15/16", for road levers, not MTB, which are 7/8" apparantly. Or d'u reckon I could squeeze some MTB V-Brake levers on to 15/16"??

loosen them off on the existing bars...have you got 1/16" spare?

Sorry!

Have you thought of approaching Rivendell?
The overseas link on their checkout pages isnt working properly, but the fact that its there at all suggests that an e mail might produce a result.

Cash in on the exchange rate while it lasts!

'Nitto All rounder"
any good?

means ordering from the US though

cheers guys. actually, it seems sjs cycles do the nitto all rounder, but they decided not to put any photos or info about it on their site. will look into getting that. but might be cheaper to just cycle to china and buy something there. regards:)
